You can apply for and purchase recreation permits on-line to visit three Bureau of Land Management special areas in Arizona — Aravaipa Canyon, Paria Canyon, and Coyote Buttes Wilderness Areas. The number of allowable visitors to these areas is limited to protect the landscape and the wildlife, and to ensure a quality experience for everyone. The permit fees you pay are directly deposited to the areas to maintain and improve the services and the resources. Fees may vary, so be sure to read the information for each area.

To use this system, have your trip plans, calendar, and credit card ready, then click on the location where you wish to apply for a permit. Search for an available date, time and place you are seeking. Once you've selected your dates, you will be interfaced with a secure site to input your credit card information. The system will process your request and issue a confirmation, email, number, bar code, or receipt, as appropriate for the area you plan to visit.
